"I do not feel we should wait until nD is finished. That would be three more nights, and I do not believe we have that much time left. If nD is up to it, we could press onward, and return to town so she can partake of her duties. If necessary, I'm sure I could save up a spell to help her through the long days and nights."
Shaking the sheriff's hand on the way out.
I know it is hard to digest at times but foul magics play cruel tricks. Thank you for following the law through to the end for justice. You sir have have my complete respect and I hope to meet more men like you in my journeys. If you need further help in any matters do not hesitate to contact me.
to the group
I agree we should make haste and complete harrowstone. nD, I will be more than happy to accompany you for your night shift after the task.
Windom is all set to go after he eats a real meal and gears up.
"Yes, let us get some food, and push forward, we have not much time to complete this task set before us."
"Brother Windom, how about if you start at the Church of Pharasma.?"
"Drasven, can you use a bow? If so, we need to get you a bow, because I believe you might be the only one capable of using the magical arrows we discovered."
Cassandra will check if there is a smith that might carry weapons of use to us.
I too can use a bow, I am fine with leaving my Crossbow behind and donning a short bow.
Is there anyone that can appraise the items we have to sell? Or is there a way to hire someone to do so?
Also is there a list of available magic items in the town?
Windom will purchase a short bow, and a quiver of normal arrows and an empty quiver. If Drasven cannot use a bow he will hold the magic and unique arrows. If he can we will split them up.

Zavar takes 10 and appraises the following:
a set of masterwork thieves’ tools-100 gp,
a bronze war medallion from the Shining Crusade-40 gp,
unframed Taldan painting of Stavian-100 gp,
a set of a noblewoman’s silver hair clips-35 gp,
a masterwork punching dagger-302 gp,
a pouch containing a fifty masterwork shurikens-310 gp,
a masterwork silver war razor-304 gp
Thanks
We should keep the thieves tools.
Brass spirit planchette (4,000 gp) I don't remember what that does, but that could buy us stuff if it's not overly useful.
12 masterwork silver holy symbols (900 gp) I have no use for holy symbols other than the one I already have.
Masterwork silver flute (75 gp)
Agreed that the Thieves Tools need to be kept.
Drasven shakes his head.
"Ach I could use a bow but my skills in archery are somewhat lacking. Usually my foes all come to me or I to them. I do not have much use for attacks from range, I apologise. We should get dressed and rearmed."
"We could all accompany our friend in the graveyard if needed but I say we must Clear harrowstone with all Haste!" saying the last, it is clear that Drasven is ready to go.
Is there a wand of cure light wounds available to purchase?
Also are there nets available? Not sure if this is a fishing town.
Is any of this available?
1 lb sack of flour
Yard of canvas
Twine
Oil of magic weapon (Scrolls / wands)
Potion of protection vs evil
Thunder stones
Garlic
Skeleton keys
Cassandra is currently carrying the Wand of CLW that we found in Harrowstone.
Remember Skeleton Keys only give a +10 that does not stack with your own modifier.
Does anyone remember what the "Brass spirit planchette" is? I can't remember. Was that something that was needed in order to use the Spirit Board?
Skeleton Keys
Me either but they are neat. However if it is an easy lock it can be opened as a standard action, not multiple rounds that open lock takes.
I say we should do what we can to get Drasven a magical weapon. At least then two people will have them (nD already has magical fists). Windom, you can hold the magical arrows if you're alright with a bow. Sell the mundane stuff we don't need (keep the spirit board I guess and the thing you need to run it). Then sell that spellbook if we can, and see what we need after that. Then, back into the abyss.
Drasven can cast Magic weapon if needed.

Staircase to Basement (S9)
This flight of stairs once led down toward what must be a lower level, but it’s now filled with a mess of large stone blocks and shattered timbers.
Training Room (S18)
The northeast wall of this room has partially fallen, revealing the dark, murky waters of the pond outside. Moldering training dummies and other similar equipment hint that this room may have once been a training area for the guards. In the northeast part of the room, the floor around a dark, jagged hole is surrounded by black scorch marks.
This room was where the fire that doomed Harrowstone began. The fire burned so hot that much of the eastern wing of the dungeon below collapsed once its wooden supports failed. The jagged, soot-caked hole in the floor was once the location of the lift that connected the two floors—the machinery that powered the lift tumbled into the dungeon below during the fire. It’s a 20-foot drop from this point—the edges of the hole may appear dangerous but the unstable portions have long since fallen away, leaving the remaining rim solid enough to support the weight of numerous creatures.
"Well, you do know Feather Fall, don't you? We could always jump and float down that way. Tie a rope off up here, and take the other end with us for our eventual departure of this place."
Let us attach a rope and climb down. Save the magics.
Windom will look around for a place to secure a rope, even outside of the room would work.
Windom casts light on a small piece of debris and tosses it into the hole. After a quick glance if he decides it looks safe he will propel down into the hole. In the room below he will ready his new shiny shortbow.

This cavernous chamber may have once been an underground cellblock, but it has long since collapsed. The crumbled walls are thick with mold and stained with soot, and heaps of fallen stones and charred wooden beams line the area. Water drips and seeps along the walls, collecting in a dark, murky pool in the middle of the room. To the north, the twisted remains of a wood and iron lift lie in a heap in a shallow portion of the pool. A jagged hole in the roof yawns twenty feet above this ruin. To the west, a partially blocked opening seems to open up after several feet into a dark but stable tunnel.
It looks to be an empty cavern.
Hefting his axe, Drasven slowly makes his way down.
A fatigued character can neither run nor charge and takes a –2 penalty to Strength and Dexterity. Doing anything that would normally cause fatigue causes the fatigued character to become exhausted. After 8 hours of complete rest, fatigued characters are no longer fatigued.
Isn't climbing a knotted rope DC 5?
Typical marching order has been:
Windom
nD
Cassandra
Zavar
Drasven
If anyone wants to change, this would be a good time to say so.
"Gladly." the hearty dwarf drinks the potion and color begins to slowly return to his cheeks as the potion does its work.

Windom is not able to climb 10 feet down the knotted rope but the rest of the party makes their descent. nDevere shows off her cat like agility by climbing then dropping gracefully into knee deep water (difficult terrain).
As soon as the nDevere sets foot in this chamber, the room fills with a cacophonous roar of screams and howls, echoes of the cries of those who burned to death in this room. This unsettling manifestation causes no harm, but an instant later, the surface of the dark pool of water begins rippling around the ruined lift as six ectoplasmic spirits rise up, dripping and horrible, to attack nDevere.
"Bware, they're ectoplasm, some form of undead." calling out in warning.
"Use your slashing weapons on them. They resist other types of weapons."
Attempts to climb down again.
"Slashing? Sure I can do Slashing.....let me get down first." Grumbles the dwarf as he hastens to climb down and find solid ground.
